The asymmetric micro/nano motors have attracted great attentions recently, because they convert external physical and chemical energy into the kinetic energy. Red blood cell (RBC) membranes with good deformability and fluidity are excellent natural templates for micromaterial fabrication. Herein, RBC membranes were used as templates to prepare bowl‐like micro‐motors by electroless plating platinum particle onto the membranes. The asymmetric Pt bowl‐like micromotors were driven by hydrogen peroxide.
